Umm yes. Noblesse oblige :)
Under the rubric that, "all pols are scum" -- it has been repeatedly missed generally, I aver since ~ [my inflection point for the unremitting decline of the US: 1968] .. that Repos have been regularly pushing all boundaries of prior civility. It has been a multi-pronged \ufffdber-hypocritical format:
1) Whenever reacting to any similar ethics-free attack (or even a perfectly reasonable one) on a member or an idea - bleed publically over the Shame of such an event, while
2) Escalating and multiplying the scurrilous tricks -like one above- expecting that the somnolent consumer-class shall fail to notice/care. [a safe bet, we see]
3) Meanwhile, leverage, consolidate $$-Power via Corp meeja and purchased legislators - in well-crafted Orwelian doublespeak; chanted reiteration of symbolic disinformation, almost hourly. The mass has no capability of assembling such a hierarchy == No Contest possible.. via ordinary nonviolent means. Which leaves - -
Demos have consistently, naively failed to recognize the depths of the Program, of the patently premeditated and honed Big-Lie as underpins the more outrageous of the slogans - while even the "I think I'm a Conservative" faction - are so fucking dense as utterly to have Failed to detect the Trotskyite roots, methods and program of the Neoconman Cabal! [Most? may not Get That even as we speak.]
ie
You Were right. then and still.
(Doesn't matter if gross disgust increases the hyperbole content, when one spies an infected banana-republic Slug putrefying beneath one's bed.)
1968: the acceleration downwards Began, with only a few small intervening plateaus - like the unprecedented turn-around of DEBT attitudes during the reign of Bill Clinton, actually a moderate-Republican, not a 'Democrat'.
(Of course too re DEBT: The Peepul have yet to Get what their habits of instant gratification-via-CCs Will cost them, as the present depression worsens.. for all the vast beyond-measuring Shit done since ShrubivoreRove arrived to eat Everyone's Lunch.
Rest case.
